[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I know the film-makers had to cut out a lot of the story in order to fit in the really important bits, but this is one part of the books which I feel is a shame not to have been included.<P>In the films, Elrond is nothing more than Arwen's father, opposed to the idea of his daughter marrying Aragorn. However, Elrond's relationship with Aragorn was so much more delicate in the book.<P>After all, Elrond was a father figure to Aragorn and loved him greatly. The films have this extremely one-dimensional relationship between the two, and do not explain in any way their past history.<P>I guess this is why they left it out. It would be very difficult to get this all in, especially as it is not central to the story. It is still something, however, which I feel is sad, and is most definitely unfair to the character of Elrond in the films.<P>Any thoughts?
